This is a box set of three books by this author that are full of romance and women and the men who fall in love with them. The characters took me on a roller coaster ride of various emotions from compassion to laughter. Each book pulled me in from the beginning and kept me reading until I finished the last page. They are about finding yourself, letting yourself love and really just accepting yourself for who you are and letting others do the same thing. I highly recommend this box set.
Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 1-3)
By: K.L. Montgomery
5 out of 5 stars
The box set Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 1-3) is a collection of stories that I loved reading. They hooked me in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put them down until I had read the final page of each book. They have wonderful storylines and amazing characters. Each one focuses on a couple and I found myself rooting for them to find happiness together. While the characters show they can be independent they also are looking for true love. Will they find it? I enjoyed reading about how the characters interact/banter with each other and the other characters in the books. These are wonderfully written stories that I would highly recommend reading.
Romance in Rehoboth is three separate stories. While each one can be read as a stand-alone, reading them in order tends to develop a better feel for Montgomery’s writing style and the characters that are casually mentioned through-out each story.
Fat Girl is the first book and is about Claire. Claire realizes that “everyone’s fat is different.” Most people are going through something in their life. Montgomery has created a character that learns she is strong, she is important, and everyone deserves unconditional love.
The Flip is one of the funnier stories I have read. Andrew and Sonnet inherit a house. While this normally wouldn’t be such a big deal, Andrew and Sonnet are not friends, which makes reading about them and their situations even funnier.
Plot Twist is book three and has a stage production setting. Lindy is our overweight sweetheart. She has little self esteem until she is on stage and then she feels like she can be anyone and do anything. She also learns that taking a chance could lead to greater things.
All three leading ladies learn that taking a risk has nothing to do with the size of your body but the size of your heart!
Loving this series so far!
I give Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 1-3) by K.L. Montgomery, 5 stars.
This set all revolves around the area around Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Book One is about Claire, a woman whom is freshly divorced, forced to live with her parents again, and forty is looming right around the corner. Not to mention that she has always been the fat girl. The one good thing — her job as a blogger. She decides she wants to change befor she hits that ominous number. Her plan — to lose some weight, and be happy again. Will she be able to find happiness and romance again?
Book Two finds two childhood enemies reunited after the death of Aunt Penny. She willed them both her house, and now they are forced to work together to update the house and make it able to flip. A few weeks together renovating a house and then they’ll never have to deal with each other again. That is doable, isn’t it? Or is Aunt Penny still manipulating things from her grave?
In Book Three, Lindy has always considered herself to be the fat friend. But she loves her two best friends and when they keep bugging her, she finally joins them in auditioning for a musical a new local theater group is putting together. It can’t be too bad right?She can just stand in the background and sing, if she even makes it. Plus there is some great eye candy. Meric has been burned by his ex-wife. He is a geeky accountant by day, but he finally feels the pull again of the theater. Will this musical, and maybe the gorgeous Lindy, make him feel again?
This was my first introduction to this author and I won’t lie, I mainly started this series because I live near Rehoboth Beach. I enjoy a good romance, but it is not my favorite genre. These books and this author have completely changed my ideas and mind about romance! They are fun, the characters are sarcastic and so loveable. Each book has a different story too, not just the same story with different leads. Plus they all interconnect, characters from previous books make an appearance in the newer ones. Not only that, but each book can be read as a standalone if you prefer to read them out of order. (I admit, I was a bad girl and read book two first!).
If you like fun romance with great, crazy characters, this set is for you!
The Romance in Rehobeth boxed set has the first three books in the series. I love this series for so many different reasons, but I think the biggest is the way I was able to connect and understand how the women felt, especially Lindy in the third book. There is so much positive body image and girl power for a lack of a better way to describe it. I felt better about myself and a bit empowered after reading.
The first book in the series is Fat Girl. This is the story that starts it all. Claire and Jack’s story was very realistic and refreshing. Claire starting over after a divorce and learning how to navigate the dating world which is incredibly different from the last time she dated.
The second book is The Flip and this is where we get to know Sonnet and Andrew. Sonnet is very brainy beautiful woman who gets reunited with her high school nemesis Andrew. They are forced to work together without killing one another.
The third and final book in this box set is Plot Twist. We meet Lindy and Meric while they are in a local theater production. Lindy is very self conscious and tries to hide in the background. She was the one I could relate with the most and think had the strongest feelings towards her. She was amazing! Meric is a great guy and exactly what Lindy needed.
I cannot recommend this set enough. Ms. Montgomery is on to something here and I am so glad I found her early on.
These three wonderful books feature three lovely leading ladies in the beautiful coastal town of Rehoboth Beach! Each woman has a full length story of her own to read. So, meet Claire, Sonnet and Lindy, the lovely ladies of Rehoboth. If you like a good romance, feisty women, beautiful beach towns and stories with an awesome message, then this is the trilogy for you! I never knew reading a romance book could make me feel better about myself by KL Montgomery has written three wonderful books that are super body positive and it was just what I needed to read! These women are strong, smart and sassy so they make the perfect people to read about! So, do yourself a favor and buy this boxed set today! I give “Romance in Rehoboth” Boxed Set by KL Montgomery five stars!!
Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Book 1-3) by K.L Montgomery
4 Stars
Fat Girl is a story of one woman’s journey of rediscovery and self acceptance. She is a writer and blogger who has a syndicated column in the NY Times. After her divorce she seeks therapy and though she loathes herself in the beginning of the book, by the end she accepts who she is and finds love along the way. It is an enlightening and inspiring story.
The Flip is a nice romantic comedy. Two old rivals inherit a house. After deciding to put their past behind them, they decide to work together to flip the house; seeing as they both need the money. The two couldn’t be more different but as the saying goes, opposites attract. This book is filled with eccentric neighbours to Mother Nature having tantrums. I laughed from beginning to end.
This is another romantic comedy that takes place backstage of a theatre production. Crazy things happen which force the director to create a “Plot Twist”. Love happens between a neurotic accountant and a clumsy woman. It is a quick, light read.
K.L Montgomery has a way of writing. She’ll have you crying one minute and laughing the next. This boxed set is definitely worth the read.

5 Stars
I have read all of the Rehoboth books, totally out of order but I have read them and I’ve loved every single one of them as with anything I read by this author…Just a note about this author…She is beyond amazing and is in my top 5 favorites..She actually has a book out that is absolutely in my top 5 of all time.. So back to this series…
Fat Girl – This one touched me in a completely different way then the rest…Connecting to the main character was simple as there were times in my life I was in a position that I felt like all of the words and feelings in this book were my own. I found myself getting so angry at Claire and just wanting to slap her, but on the other hand I really felt like she was very strong and confident in who she was even when she wasn’t happy with how she looked. I really loved how this story was told and how real everything felt. I appreciated the building of friendships and I especially liked that there was no love at first site, I really truly never got a feel for what might happen and with who till the very end, and this was different…Normally it is very apparent what will happen and who it will happen with. I laughed out loud many times throughout as well…Her comebacks to messages received cracked me up.
The Flip – I am absolutely in love with this book. The interaction between Andrew and Sonnet (competitive adversaries since childhood) and what they thought of each other cracked me up. I loved the way the story unfolded while giving us tidbits of the past and how these two arch enemies became the way they were. The author was really creative with the hilarious obstacles that kept popping up while they were redoing the house left to them, from millipedes to rusty nails, sinkholes and then oh my goodness an alligator in Delaware. I laughed out loud so many times. This book just plain made me feel good, I Loved It!!!!
Plot Twist – This is Meric and Lindy’s story, two people who aren’t perfect, just one of the reasons I love this author so very much…These two both dealing with their own issues made me fall in love with them just like every other character that this author writes about. She never shies away from letting these women be real and deal with real issues as far as their bodies are concerned..I can’t even begin to explain how refreshing that is. I loved this story and the return of the characters from previous books was something I loved, they didn’t just make a quick appearance, they were part of the story. I fell in love also with Lindy’s parents and with the way Lindy treated her parents.
Each one of these stories are solid no doubt about it 5 star books and I can’t recommend them enough, read the whole series and I just know you will fall in love with this author as I have. She’s amazing and makes every story feel like you are right there watching them all unfold.
